I Just Don’t Know What To Say
You took my love
You took my trust
You turned 'em in
To a pile of rust
Stole my money
And you lied to me
You said we were shootin' it straight
Mutually
Now I think you want
Me to be kind
Bury the past
And ease your mind
But I'm not here
To make you pay
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
It makes me wonder
How long I been your fool
Though it hardly changes
What I feel for you
And that's the thing
I don't understand
It goes to show
What kind of fool I am
Covered in darkness
But I wanna see
What's the matter with you, babe
What's the matter with me
If I could believe
I'd hit my knees and pray
But baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
I know you're shocked
At my loss for words
'Cause I can talk
The wings off a humming bird
I think too fast
But not fast enough for you
And everything you always wanted
To be brand new
Now my mind is tongue-tied
I got two left feet
I can't dance outta here
I keep hittin' repeat
And it's the same sad song
The jukebox plays
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Baby, I just don't know what to say
Oh, baby, I just don't know what to say
